Intsik, is the first thing that comes to mind.
There are a few more if you want to know the slang or the bigoted
Pinoy words for Chinese.

Was it Intsik, Chekwa, Filchi, Chinoy, beho or Viejo,
Or could it be Factory owner, banker, taxpayer, restaurant owner, Lasalle graduate,

Could it be 'Filipino'?

'Intsik" isnot Filipino Chinese. "Instik" is the Filipino word for
Chinese in general. Pinoy is more unpleasant to me, (as Kano for

MY TURN:
My deceased paternal uncle from Ballesteros, Cagayan used to call them
"XIANGLAY". This was out of respect and honor for their great business
acumen. As it turned out in the end, the departed relative was one of
their business associates. BUSINESS??? Hmmm, well, he/they had frequent
"rendezvous" in a small island off Northern Luzon called FUGA ISLAND.
People in the know cannot miss the significance of this isolated place.

Maybe you mean slant-eyed? Afaik, only felines are slit-eyed.
Anyway, in tagalog, having slanted eyes is "singkit". Having
chinese features is usually called being "chinito"/"chinita".
Otoh, having very big round eyes will probably get you called
"flashlight" (I'm not making this up, I swear.)
My Filipino-Chinese friends have always told me that they don't
like being called "instik" or any of the other variations, and I
try to respect that. After all, not many pinoys would like to be
called "indio" or any other historically-loaded name.

So, as the subject of this thread reads, what's the Filipino word
for a Filipino Chinese? You kinda told us what it was not and
forgot to tell us what it is. ;-)
BTW, "indio" is Spanish for "indian" (which Filipinos are not)
while "instik" is Tagalog for "chinese" (which they are). So
what's the problem...or did I miss something here? -Sal

"INTSIK" is the Tagalog word for all Chinese people regardless where they
reside.
I am from Cavite and we used the word "Mestizo-Intsik" for a person
with mixed Chinese-Filipino blood.
As far as I know there isn't a specific word for a pure Chinese who
was born in the Philippines.

The word is intsik. It means Chinese. For Filipino-Chinese,
it is filipino-instik.

Gender differentiation is a part of every culture. The "macho"
"Hispanic" trap is not one I had fallen into, not exactly anyway. By
that I mean I grew up fairly macho myself and have tried for many years
to extinguish the trait, at least to some point that I feel comfortable
with. Until I married a Filipina I had little knowlege of the culture,
thus had not developed many stereotypes. From my limited experience
with men in the RP I have observed that they have been conditioned with
some of the same "macho" traits that American men grew up with. I
don't know enough to draw sweeping conclusions or to attribute this to
any of the men outside a limited area of Luzon, but men don't cry at
sad movies, things like that.
I stopped writing here and called one of my friends and asked her about
this. She said that Filipinas refer to thier men as sweet, but
Filipinos do not refer to other men as sweet. Same as here in the US
and very gender specific. Basically what I would expect from any
country. I think the different sides of the fence we are on is that I
think it's perfectly acceptable to talk about just men, or just women,
or any other subject without worrying about what someone might say
about all the things you were not talking about to begin with.

I did miss that. In my original post I did say that the definition of
sweet itself could cause endless discussions. I think I have an idea
what you are saying here. Though I really had to laugh. "Colonial
Sweetness". I am not a betting man, but I wonder how many years it
will take before I see that term used by anyone not trying to 'win' in
a self serving, Ameri-centric panic. :).

It could not have criss-crossed to often. It was only a paragraph. I
purport that it was merely your inability to accept a post limited to
discussing a single trait as it applied to Filipinas. I
was hoping for a small amount of intelligent discussion, but, it seems
you were too confined at the moment. I would have thought you to take
the opportunity to show that you actually have some understanding. I
suppose however that some pedophile would have used the

critique your family at all. Your mental stability yes, your motives

At least one Chinese devoted half a year's energy back to the
University of the Philippines by teaching for salary that didn't

At a time where Filipinos are fighting for respect, you could at
